LeasePlan and Uber sign pan-European partnership
LeasePlan and Uber have signed a new partnership that will provide Uber partner-drivers across Europe with a full operational leasing solution.
(L-R) Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, Uber’s head of EMEA, and Tex Gunning, CEO of LeasePlan.
The new Memorandum of Understanding builds on the firms’ current cooperation in Portugal, France and the Netherlands and states that they will offer partner-drivers a package of services, from repairs and maintenance to insurance, rolling out across 23 countries in Europe this year.
Pierre-Dimitri Gore-Coty, Uber’s head of EMEA, said: “Every week, Uber connects tens of thousands of drivers across Europe with economic opportunities at the touch of a button. But sometimes access to a car can be challenging. With this partnership, we want to ensure drivers are able to get the best deals on the market, and make driving with the Uber app as seamless as possible.”
